- Serving as a primary escalation point and on-call for relevant incidents
- Owning the relationship with all system vendors, including WarpStream Labs and others.
- Help define and evolve the technical direction for operating WarpStream and adjacent shared database systems at scale
- Lead complex initiatives such as migrations, rollout improvements, and reliability investments

- Strong Kubernetes experience in AWS, GCP, or Azure, and familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tooling (Helm, Terraform, Jsonnet, etc.).
- Experience leading or driving complex technical efforts, even without formal management responsibilities
- Ability to influence technical direction and align teams around reliability improvements.
- Strong understanding of distributed systems failure modes in multi-cloud environments.
- Proficiency in at least one systems-oriented language (Go preferred, but not required).
